    I don’t like the “Baron” very much. At all. I think Nick is ‘on’ to him, though.

      I think either Baron M. or Jonah Yu, one or the other, is Nick’s best friend. (Not including Dr. Lee.)

        Nick considers the Baron to be his best friend (aside from Dr. Lee). No question. I don’t think he really knows Jonah that well.

    Baron can eat? And taste it? How? Even the Violet drone got gunked up when Sweetheart tried to eat with it.

      Maybe be part of Nick’s plan to expose him. The baron’s not mecha at all!

        Do we actually know what the Baron is? He is the product of Mad science, after all. For all we know, he could be a cross-breed of a rhinoceros and a My Little Pony.

          …and a pig….and maybe a goat.

          He’s a cyborg at minimum, since he was able to jack into the VR in a previous arc…

          Given sufficient Madness, there’s no reason why a robot shouldn’t have a sense of taste and an ability to process jelly donuts for energy.

            Heck, in real life, some people have been working on robots (perhaps in an effort to speed the Robopocalypse) that can refuel themselves using organic materials.

    I do not want to know what happens to that donut after the Baron eats it.

    He converts it into soft-serve and dispenses it from a rearward facing aperture!

      I said I didn’t want to know!

        Somebody link the squatty potty add just for this.

      Well, he IS a fake unicorn – if you can’t pass glitter, sprinkles + confectioners sugar is a reasonable substitute. I just hope they have a bidet handy. It can’t be easy to wipe when all you’re equipped with are hooves.

    Baron’s design might be based on the Canard Digérateur: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digesting_Duck

      Or Wim Delvoyes’s Cloaca? I mean, he tattoed porks with Disney brandings (or rather he made people do it, it’s comtemporary art, fater all)

    I like the way that Nick and Baron’s friendship isn’t diminished by a small thing like being on opposite sides. ^_^

    There were a lot of people at the tourney. I hope Nick brought enough donuts for everybody…

      Judging from the number of boxes, he just might have.

      Of course, some of the competitors might not have the same input and processing equipment the Baron seems to have.

      I think all those doughnuts are for Nick. And, of course, he’s willing to share with his friend, the Baron.

    Baron Mistycorn’s name has always given me a giggle.
    “Mist” is a German/Austrian/Frisian term for “the manure of a herbivore or omnivore, sometimes mixed with straw”. It can also refer to a midden or a dung heap. You might say, “Alles mist” to indicate that a situation is FUBAR.
    “Corn” is derived from the Latin word for horn, but we also have the term “corny” to refer to a worn-out joke.
    “Barren” implies to a lack of reproductive ability.
    So he’s literally an impotent, horny piece of shit that ain’t funny no more.
    …just sayin’…

      As convoluted and flawed as that logic may be, I still like it.

    The Baron’s comment in the last panel leads me to expect Monstro will be a gigantic version of himself. Which implies the contest has been rigged from the start as a means to get Mistycorn back into Aimee’s VR…

      Wouldn’t surprise me at all. ^_^
